My beloved 13 year-old television is on its last legs. I bought it on sale for $90 at Shopko when I moved into my first apartment all by myself. It’s a great little tv and it will enjoy being turned into a tele-quarium when it goes to the final analog wave in the sky.

With that, we are in the market for a new television. I have the converter box and antenna. We don’t have cable or satellite. I have no idea what kind of a television to get or what the difference is between them, other than size. I need recommendations and a television geek guru. I’m looking to spend not more than $500. Help, please?

One of my dogs, Gilda, decided to take herself for a walk today and she has yet to return. She’s tall, reddish in color with white marking (Rhodesian Ridgeback mix), and a sweet, if skiddish, dog. Chester Creek/East Hillside. Please call if you find her. 218-310-6541

So you’re thinking of moving to the Twin Cities. Duluth is home, but you have to trek south for a year. Perhaps it’s for a job, or the love of your life, or you just want to be closer to the Sonic that opened up last year. Whatever your reason, I have a deal for you. Move into the Carleton Artist Lofts and the month of May is rent free.

I know, you’re thinking “What the Gary Doty does this have to do with Duluth?” Well these particular artist lofts are also home to one Dr. Thunder (aka Erik Pearson) and Crystal Meisinger. How could you not want to live alongside these giants among men?

We need somone to write an easment so we can run our new sewer line under our neighbors’ yard. Any recommendations?

Does anyone know of any good spring art/craft/Earth Day fairs coming up?

C-Freak – was that you on npr today, giving the bizness to Ms. Maggie homophobe? If it was, fucking right on!!!

I about threw my radio when she played her ad. “Gay marriage will take away rights from straight marriages!” WTF?!?!?

Best of luck to Marry Me Minnesota!

The last few months for my kids and I have been, how shall I put it, challenging???

Hopefully, within the next month, we will have officially changed our last name. Yeah, you know it’s been rough when your whole family feels the need for a major reboot.

Anyway, what I need from ya’ll is a good place for a gathering of twenty or thirty people of all ages where we can eat, celebrate our new last name, celebrate a new beginning, and not have to pay any kind of a fee up front to rent the space. Basically, a restaurant that could accommodate us without having us at a bunch of small tables, maybe just two or three?

Ideas?

Anybody here have a way of contacting Chris Monroe? I work at the Boys and Girls Club and have a request from some of our members here. If she is here or anyone else could pass along an e-mail, that would be greatly appreciated.

Not everyone is hurting.

A little spring cleaning never hurt anyone, right?

My last sale put the “suck” in success, but like my old JV football coach said: “TENACITY!!”  So, I’m giving it another whirl, and you’re all invited, again. If you were the bearer of one of the myriad excuses which kept the frothy-mouthed masses from clearing out my fabulous stash of vintage dandies (something for everyone!!)(priced to induce guilt-ridden sleep-loss!) last weekend, don’t fret, I still have just about everything left. I even have a leftover keg of pear cider. 7-11pm, 628 N. 10th Ave. E, back door.
